Program Overview

The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) offers a unique program that combines dance, video, and mixed media into site-specific projects in urban spaces.

Flat

The program "Flat" is a dance-theater work based on a Borges short story, designed to be performed outdoors on the side of an apartment building, four stories up.
